In The Spotlight

KESMAR – “Is It You I Miss”

Born in Sydney as Nathan Hawes, this Australian singer and songwriter started playing guitar at the age of 7 and began writing songs at 14. He’s spent a decade playing folk tunes on his acoustic guitar, before reinventing himself with a new moniker and the addition of synths. Inspired by genre-spanning artists like Carole King, Wings and Fleetwood Mac, he debuted with “Feel it again” in 2018.

Taking his listeners back to the classic soft rock of the 1970s, his new single is filled with vintage sunshine. Taken from his debut album “Always Chasing Rainbows”, expected on May 12th, it’s the retro drums, bouncy bass, sunlit guitars and breezy keys that truly makes you feel back in time. And with his easy-going vocals stroking the relaxed melody, this smooth groove is a joy for your ears.

LYYN – “Coyote”

Born to Chinese immigrants near Chicago, this Brooklyn-based singer and songwriter is classically trained in piano and the oboe from the age of 7. She grew up surrounded by a mix of classical, indie rock and Chinese folk music, which influence is felt in her distinct sound. Inspired by genre-bending artists such as Lana Del Rey, Roy Orbison and Robyn, she debuted with “Out Of Breath” in 2018.

Bringing an ode to an untamable love that was never meant to last, her new single explores her love of 90s dreampop. Starting the song with a melancholic mood, she blends piano chords with her emotive vocals and wildlife samples. The addition of a pulsating beat, fresh guitars and sonic oomph gives this enchanting track an embracing warmth which is irresistible until the last note.
